Would be a shame to spoil one concluding sequence, but suffice to say it's probably one of the funniest things committed to film this century. Toni Erdmann is relentlessly hilarious while offering the kind of wisdom and emotion you rarely find in comedy.

The truth of the matter is that the film Toni Erdmann is a family drama but one laced with enough humour that there is room to interpret proceedings as a situational comedy, however, that would undermine the heartbreaking pathos within.

Huller bravely plays a twenty minute nude scene that's touching and funny, disarming her party guests who join her. That's just one of many highly entertaining sequences in this witty, wry and engaging comedy.
